Lincoln University Welcomes 34 Students into Honors Program

Thirty-four students were inducted into Lincoln University of Missouri's Honors Program on Oct. 28, celebrating their commitment to scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

Lincoln University of Missouri inducted 34 students into its Honors Program during a ceremony Monday, Oct. 28, in the Scruggs University Center Ballroom.

The Honors Program, established in 1965, provides enhanced interdisciplinary experiences for academically motivated students. Members commit to upholding four pillars: scholarship, service, leadership and character.

“At Lincoln University, we continue to pursue excellence, and these newly inducted members of the Honors Program are going to help us get there,” said Dr. Stevie Lawrence, provost and vice president for academic affairs. “The complete collegiate experience means fully engaging in the curricular and co-curricular activities that will promote success here on our campus and well beyond. These honors scholars are proof of that.” 

Guest speaker Bishop Damian Dean Sr., director of United Community Builders, addresses students during the induction ceremony.

The program began with 19 students and has evolved into a living learning community that prepares students for success in graduate school, professional studies and work environments. Students participate in honors-level courses and engage in activities that develop them as global citizens who think critically and serve their communities.
